Obama & Class-Warfare

The attempt at class-warfare that is the mark of a socialist approach to government has never been remarked as unmistakably as the effort made by the administration in the “Trayvon Martin Affair.” The federal Department of Justice (Attorney General Holder) inserted itself into the state matter last year and sent representatives to Sanford, Florida, to aid in whipping up protests regarding the assumed guilt of George Zimmerman, who was acquitted of murder and manslaughter last week.

Less than a month after the shooting in February 2012, the president stated that if he had a son, that son would look like Trayvon Martin, in his attempt to convict Zimmerman before a trial could even be held. This reminds of his assertion in 2009 that police in Massachusetts acted stupidly when he had no knowledge of what had happened to occasion that remark, and had to eat crow since the main policeman, a white guy arresting a black guy, acted according to protocol.

After the acquittal of Zimmerman, the president stated that doing something about gun violence would honor Martin. Honor Martin? This might have been said after the shootings in the Newtown, Conn., school last year with respect to the grade-school students who were killed. Martin was shot while he was trying to batter and beat another human being who was merely sharing the same sidewalk.

Attorney General Holder has announced that his department will look into the Martin matter, presumably to find some grounds upon which the federal government can bring a criminal suit against Zimmerman, thus imprisoning him and attempting to take everything he has or can earn on the basis of his acquittal. Zimmerman is a marked man and has to wear a bullet-proof vest but Holder hasn’t offered the services of the government for his protection.

Honoring Martin for trying to kill Zimmerman by beating his head against a sidewalk is the same as honoring Major Hasan for killing 14 people at Ft. Hood in 2009 while sharing a building with them. In the Obama administration’s structure of justice, Hasan hasn’t been tried and convicted of anything yet, though he may actually go to trial in August, something someone has helped him avoid for 3.5 years. Even though he screamed “Allah Akbar” before instigating the slaughter, his crime has not been classified as terrorism but as “workplace violence.”

Ironically, There’s been more than one homicide a day this year in Chicago, the president’s hometown, but Holder isn’t saying much about that. Ninety-two percent of murdered blacks in this country are killed by blacks. Martin’s death came at the hands of a man who is half-white, just like Obama, but suddenly this is a racist matter?

The juror who has been interviewed has said that race was never introduced into the jury’s deliberations. The first prosecution witness in the case was interviewed by (who else?) Piers Morgan (England’s revenge for Larry King) and stated that as she and Trayvon spoke by phone while he was eying Zimmerman the possibility came up that Zimmerman could be a rapist, implying that Zimmerman might be a homosexual on the hunt for a young mark, in which case she suggested that Trayvon should run.

Since “straight” men sometimes feel strongly enough about such a thing to commit mayhem on the homosexual, Trayvon could have had a motive for trying to smash-up, if not kill, Zimmerman instead of just going on home. This puts a completely different light on the subject. If the prosecuters knew this (and they probably did since she was their witness), they wouldn’t have touched it with a ten-foot pole at trial. The defense obviously didn’t know about this; otherwise, it might have successfully had the case dismissed, with Zimmerman the obvious victim.

Blacks can be thankful that people like Al Sharpton of “Tawana Brawley” fame (big gun in the protests then and now) and Jesse Jackson, perennial race-baiter but who also said on an open mike that he would like to castrate Obama, are slowly but surely passing from the scene, thus killing the indoctrination to young blacks that everything that happens is racial.

The actions of both Obama and Holder, however, reinforce this garbage and they, because of their overpowering positions, provide the best and most dangerous example of class-warfare, pitting one group, blacks, against another, whites and most everyone else. Their behavior is beneath contempt.

About Me

I'm just an old guy who's been watching the scene for quite a long while, having come along just in time for the Great Depression. Those who are unfamiliar with that term are welcome to look it up. Though not scholarly by nature, I still managed to finish college (though not in four years or even five) and have been fortunate in getting to engage in a diversity of occupations - construction/farm laborer, U.S. Navy, newspaper sportswriter and columnist, radio disk-jockey and sportscaster, schoolteacher, full-time "church worker," railroader - and so I've had the opportunity to see things from both the white- and blue-collar perspectives, as well as those of the sacred and secular. Reading, writing, and music are my passions. The most intensive of my passions, however, is reserved for the writing of hymns.
